Because they are utter, utter bastards. It will probably take the Shels a few more years to make a serious push in the hurling until some of these younger lads come through. You can generally pick 3 of the 4 semi-finalists in the Wexford hurling championship (Oulart, Martinâs, Rathnure) every year before it starts so we could do with some other teams shaking things up.
I can also exclusively reveal that county goalkeeper Anthony Masterson will be playing full forward for Castletown tomorrow against St Anneâs.
Bree is officially closed for the day tomorrow. Special Branch are combing the area, snipers at the ready for any scumbag seen leaving the GAA grounds on sunday without permission. Apparently the Sarsfield men are hell bent on wrecking the place as revenge for the embarassing defeats inflicted on them by Ballyhogue last year!!
Sarsfields have traditionally been a very well behaved unit save for the lawnmower and fire incident in Taghmon-Camross GAA club in 1993 that led to our outstanding U14 team withdrawing from the Slaney Football Festival. I donât foresee any problems in Bree tomorrow but I do know our supporters plan on doing a corteo from Gary Byrneâs shop to the pitch in a manner similar to this:
Maybe this year, but not next yearâŚthe St Jamesâ bandwagon has started the trek back to Senior ranks
Ciaran Lyng put over a ridiculous sideline in Grantstown the other night. Must have been almost 40 yards out on the right. Still asnât enough though.
Looks like Fethard have taken a massive step towards staying up with their defeat of Taghmon yesterday. Taghmon were well on top for most of the first half but the Mogues battled back to grind out the result.
Horeswood never got out of first gear against Ballyhogue but never really had to. A win over the poor Ballyhogue men will see Fethard safe for one more year.

not quite, remember the year Ballyhogue knocked out Horeswood when all 3 teams finished level on 2 wins each. went down to scoring difference. chance there to make sure of it alright, but chickens should never be counted too early!
Well if Ballyhogue had lost two and presuming that Horeswood defeat Taghmon, which going by last nightâs viewing they should have at least six or seven points to spare over them, then that would be the group wrapped up after two games.
Not saying that Horeswood wonât bottle it but itâd be hard to see how Taghmon coudl improve in a short space of time.
He was having a stormer apparently. The 2 big lads went to town after he went off. Cork people getting a little excited now, theyâd want to calm down. It was Ballygarvan, a challenge game and Wexford. Tells you very little really.
Ballyhogue were toothless yesterday without their talismatic corner forward âJimbobâ. Two week suspension handed down for a red card he received as he was actually being substituted against the Shels the previous week
Expect to see a vast improvement for the remaining group games along with the returning Sean O Neill to bolster the squad.
PS, what the fuck happened the Annes, serious beating by Castletown
All sorts of shenanigans with Jim Bobâs sending off apparently. He was sent off by a Castletown offical and it appeared to be a coincidence that a well known Ballyhogue official in turn sent off a Castletown player in a league game the next day for a minor indiscretion, and this led to some ructions. Castletown obviously didnât suffer from the loss of TomĂĄs Sheehy anyway. :lol:
Well if its the same official that wouldnt be too popular up around the Laois Kildare area we are talking about, trust me he wouldnt be exactly going out of his way to help Ballyhogue and in particular Jimbob.
What the fuck is up with Colm Bonnar? He was whining in the national daily papers today about being down in Division 2 and again on Off The Ball earlier. Itâs the most defeatist attitude ever when we need to be fully geared up to go out and win the final on Sunday. I donât know if itâs going to be a self fulfilling prophecy the way heâs constantly complaining about the structure of the league, how Division 2 is ruining Wexford hurling and how losing the final would be a body blow. Fuck sake, get on with it and concentrate on winning it. It seems he wants to have a league structure where thereâs an ad hoc cut off point in terms of how many teams are in Division 1 and the rest of those teams trying to improve can fuck off. So Wexford, Clare, Antrim and maybe Laois should come up to a 12-team Division 1 and the likes of Carlow who are making very good strides should just have to put up with it and settle for staying at their own level playing Kildare and Westmeath? Bollox. Weâre in Division 2 because we deserve to be and it was a fairly competitive division too. Weâll deserve to go up if we win on Sunday; otherwise weâll deserve to remain where we are and weâll go up if and when we improve enough to do so. We should be fully focused on the game instead of repeating the same old complaints - the league structure isnât going to change between now and Sunday.
The Independent have it that Rossiter is out after getting injured against Cork at the weekend. Fucking hell - heâs the most injury prone player weâve had in years. We donât have great defensive cover, particularly in the full back line, and we also lack a bit of size and physicality. In fairness, Doc OâConnor should still be on the panel despite his many and varied limitations.
